A veritable institution since 1995, all models dream of being part of the “angels” of Victoria’s Secret. After several criticisms, however, the brand canceled its fashion shows for several years.
It is therefore in 2023 that the lingerie brand will make its big comeback on the catwalks! If no date has yet been set, we should know more soon. What to expect ?
The 2023 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Known for parading its “angels” to the rhythm of live performances by the greatest artists (Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, etc.), Victoria’s Secret saw its sales drop as well as the number of spectators for its parade from 2013. But why? The brand is simply deemed too non-inclusive.
In 2013, Ed Razek, marketing director for the former parent company of Victoria’s Secret, sparked controversy when he said in an interview with Vogue that he didn’t think the show should include plus-size or transgender models. , because it had to remain “a fantasy”. He ended up resigning.
Today, the brand therefore wishes to restore its image by offering more inclusive and diversified models, as well as by adapting to new consumer habits (we now favor more comfortable pieces, rather than push-up bras example).
